Pages Read Today: 190 (The Fault in Our Stars) + 34 (Shambling with the Stars) + 71 (The Audacity of Hope)

Pages Read Total: 750

Reading Helpers: Plane ride and a sleepy baby.

Challenges: None for me.

Comments: Saturday was our all day traveling day.  On the ride to Indiana, I didn't read at all.  This time I got in a ton of reading when Arthur was sleeping or quietly playing with a toy.  The middle seat was empty, so it was easy to lay him next to me and save my arms.  I finished TFiOS, a short story, and started another book.  I didn't meet my goals, but I did get more reading done than I thought I realistically would.

Goals:

• Read 5 books -- Failed...
• Read 1000 pages -- Failed... but did fairly well with 750 pages
• Review all books read -- Success!  Of course, I only read two books and a short story, but I reviewed them!
• Participate in 2 challenges -- Failed...  I didn't participate in a single challenge this time.

TBR Pile: My various selections.  I won't get to all these, but this is my pile of options.

• High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
• Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain
• The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
• Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein
• A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
• Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton
• The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus
• Added: Shambling with the Stars by Jesse Petersen 
• Added: The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama (in progress)

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
